A review by small_adventurist
Magpie by Elizabeth Day

5.0

Page-turner is such an overused phrase, but sorry I HAVE to use it for Magpie. What a book, what a twist (no, I really did not see it coming, despite being told to watch out for one). So engrossing is the characterisation and plot that I was carried along on a wave in one direction, until I wasn’t! Not an easy book to review without ruining it with spoilers, but if you want an absorbing, twisty and utterly convincing few hours of escapism (yes, I did devour it that quickly) get this book.
